The Arizona Cardinals relied on a rookie safety in a big way during their Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets.
ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals weren't sure if starting safety Jalen Thompson would be ready to face Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets in Week 10.
Taylor-Demerson, a fourth-round pick by Arizona this past April, shined in preseason play while starters were rested - though playing against the likes of Rodgers, Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson was a test he hadn't taken after playing just nine percent of defensive snaps ahead of Week 10.Taylor-Demerson was part of a Cardinals defense that has now limited opposing offenses to under ten points in consecutive weeks while also preventing no touchdowns for the last three outings at home.
“Just tendencies throughout the week, being prepared. I kind of had a good feeling. Being a rookie on the field, I kind of figured he was going to pick on me, so I was on high alert all week.”
